	Cossington Park - Introduction
		At the heart of one of England's finest tourist locations, Cossington Park is available on a self-catering basis for families and friends, reunions, and as a retreat and film set.
		Because it is a private home, Cossington Park's furniture and paintings reflect the family history: the bookcase in The Drawing Room carved by my father's stepmother; the wheel supports in The Library taken from our grandfather's ship, 'The Devonshire'; the 5000 books collected by successive generations since the late 17th Century.
		Cossington Park is above all a place to relax, to be at peace, with good friends and family, and good books.

		Just as the wardrobe is part of the iconography of Cossington Smith’s paintings, there are icons or family ‘trademarks’ in her sketchbook portraits.
		Innocence in repose is most perfectly captured in Cossington Smith’s portraits from 1936 of her newborn nephew, Robert.

	NSW Heritage Office Website - Online Database
		Cossington is also of local heritage significance for its unusual timber-lined meeting room originally used for Quaker meetings, for its associations with Cossington Smith's eminent lawyer father Ernest Smith, for its architectural qualities as a Federation bungalow designed by Nixon & Allen, and for its garden contributing to the streetscape.
		The door into Cossington Smith's former studio (in the south eastern corner of the house) is significant as it had been the door to her studio in the garden and was moved to its new position when she moved the studio into the house.
		Cossington is also of local heritage significance for its previous use as a Quaker meeting house, still apparent in the wooden lined ceilings in the room now used as living room and dining room.

	Modern message from the extreme end of niceness - Arts - www.smh.com.au
		Cossington Smith's uncompromising drive to make her own art, her own way, led her to break with her original teacher, Datillo Rubbo.
		In her later years, writes Hart, Cossington Smith's "ability as a great colourist came to the fore in unison with a sure sense of structure, reaffirming her interest in interior architecture that was apparent from her earliest sketchbook drawings".
		Cossington Smith worked into her 70s, always drawing, always painting, portraits, landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, interiors, growing ever bolder in pattern, colour and vibrancy.

	Art Interview - Grace Cossington Smith (1892 - 1984)
		With her primary concern being for form, vibrant colour and evocative light her subject matter was very diverse ranging from Sydney streetscapes and landscapes to scenes of domestic life with a particular emphasis on such objects as flowers, furniture and crockery.
		As Cossington Smith’s images were complemented with the extensive use of prismatic colours, broken brush strokes and a particular warm and friendly element, it is perhaps made most evident in her trademark interiors.
		Although the art of Grace Cossington Smith is today considered to have been greatly beneficial for the progression and recognition of the talent within the Australian art world, the artist was not always the subject of such worthy praise.

	Smith, Grace Cossington (1892 - 1984) Biographical Entry - Australian Dictionary of Biography Online (Site not responding. Last check: )
		SMITH, GRACE COSSINGTON (1892-1984), artist, was born on 20 April 1892 at Cossington, Neutral Bay, Sydney, second of five children of Ernest Smith, London-born crown solicitor, and his wife Grace, née Fisher, daughter of the rector and squire of Cossington, Leicestershire.
		Her use of colour and paint became bolder as Rubbo read aloud accounts of van Gogh and Cézanne, and van Gogh's feeling for humanity was also sympathetic to her; small, vivid studies of topical subjects—reinforcements for World War I, a strike, a crowd at a racecourse—were painted in 1917-19.
		Grace Cossington Smith eventually left Cossington for a nursing-home and was visited daily by her brother's children.

	The collections
		In November last year the Library acquired through a Sotheby’s auction in Melbourne a self-portrait painted by one of Australia’s earliest proponents of Modernism, Grace Cossington Smith (1892–1984).
		Cossington Smith was an artist who lived her entire life in Sydney and is probably most well known for her domestic interiors and images of the Harbour Bridge during its construction.
		One of the characteristics of Modernism is an expressive reliance on colour and even in this somewhat severe self-portrait we can observe the artist’s use of colour to convey form and depth as well as a certain emotional content.
